In an embodiment, a multilayer ceramic capacitorhas a capacitor body comprising a capacitive partconstituted by multiple internal electrode layersthat are stacked with dielectric layersin between, as well as dielectric cover partsthat respectively cover both sides of the capacitive partin the stacking direction. Also, the dielectric layersof the capacitive part, and the dielectric cover parts, contain elemental manganese, and the elemental manganese is distributed in such a way that its quantity gradually decreases in the depth direction from the exterior faces of the dielectric cover partstoward the center of the dielectric layersof the capacitive part
